UPDATE, 1/23/14: While many adults are excited about the new Draft Beer Jelly Belly flavor, one group is not too pleased about the rollout. According to Business Insider, some parents of young kids are outraged by the new beer-flavored candy and think that the beans will encourage their children to try alcohol. The company has been getting a lot of negative comments on its Facebook page condemning the product for making the taste of beer accessible to kids, especially in candy form. Denise Evans commented, "Kids will taste these beer jelly bellys [sic] and like the flavor and want the real thing. They won't be tasting them in [my] house but teens are teens and will buy them." Another Facebook user stated, "It's just so wrong to have this flavor. Very disappointed. Why not just make a cigarette flavor while your [sic] at it." Do you think Draft Beer jelly beans will encourage children to drink? Is the new flavor a bad influence?

1/21/14: If watermelon and buttered popcorn jelly beans seem a little
too juvenile for your taste, then Jelly Belly has got a couple of new flavors
just for you. According to Foodbeast, Draft Beer and Chocolate Covered Tabasco
are both being introduced by the candy company this year. Tabasco was first
launched last year and will now get a special new chocolate coating, but the
draft beer beans are brand-spanking new. Despite their name, the draft beans
don't actually contain any alcohol.
